JASLYNN
If I wasn't already struggling for breath, I would have gasped at what he said.
But I shouldn't have been surprised by the solution to my issue. It was only logical to try to harness the incredibly potent magic concealed by a werewolf's mark to undo the effects of the hemlock.
The only issue was whether or not I was prepared to experience the full power of Alrik's mark. Was he willing to give me access to that power? Were we yet at that point in our trust?
Because his mark was the only possible solution and there was no time for me to consider any other options, I was unable to respond to these queries.
Alrik traced his palm gently over the crook of my neck, "Jaslynn, if I mark you, the only person who can ever remove the mark is the Moon Goddess herself."
I sputtered, "I know I'll be okay if you mark me, but if you don't want to, I don't want to."
